About

Platforms and pedagogy, together.

I'm software enfineer lead and instructional designer with more than 10 years of professional experience in Nigeria and across Africa. I set up and administer Moodle-based learning platforms end to end — servers, configuration, payment gateways, database and mobile-app integration — for training centres and capacity-development programmes.

I also design the learning itself: I've built self-paced and blended e-learning courses with subject-matter experts for development-cooperation projects with GIZ, the African Union and UNIDO.
